I use a silicon spray and find it great, also while your sorting the gear action out make sure the heater pipes aren't fouling it

I hate to bombard the forum with all these questions. It would be great if my Haynes manual would get here so I could read up on some of these questions. The shiftier on my car just feels like it needs lubricating in the shaft in the dashboard. Is this a maintenance item? Just shift the car into a known gear like 3rd, disconnect the shift rod from the gearbox, clean it up a bit and grease it with something like a graphite based grease? |

Use Talcumn Power, oil based products ruin the bushes. Ps The forum is very quite, so activity is great. |

Talcum or graphite powder only! What conditon is the gear change Rubber o ring in? The one that's the link between the horizontal gear chanhe the vertical rod from the gearbox. |

Hadn't thought of talc etc. I've only used silicone spray but it does dry out. |

I've never had talcum or graphite powder in my workshop as I know of. I have silicone spray though. Isn't that ok to use? |

It's not a normal O ring, but a rubber bush surrounding the plastic bush which is in contact with the gear lever shaft. Here is what it looks like. http://www.ecas2cvparts.co.uk/bushes-ny ... -1181.html |

You're each talking about different components here! |
